The Scottish actor, 53, received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard — and it sits just feet from fellow Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher's own star.

00:00What does it mean to have your star so close to Carrie Fisher?
00:02Oh that means the world to me. I was so lucky to get to know Carrie, you know.
00:06I met her at a party once up here in Malibu on a beach and somebody said that she was there and
00:12I went up to speak to her and I was so in love with her when I was a boy, you know.
00:18Like most people of my age, a massive crush on Carrie Fisher. But we had this, by that time I
00:24already was in the Star Wars world so I sat down with her on this beach and I felt like we just
00:30got, we just clicked, you know. And she made me laugh, like she really made me laugh.
00:35And then we did a few things here in Hollywood. We co-hosted some fundraisers at her house.
00:45I'm trying to remember what the film was for, I can't forget. Anyway, we were co-hosts and
00:49we always used to make, she just made me weep after, she was incredibly funny. And yeah,
00:55I miss her a lot. I always forget that she's not with us. So anyway,
01:00the fact that we're close together is really lovely.
01:02Now you're both remembering together, that's right.
